Berlin

 

1988: European City of Culture
Welcome to Berlin. Lets take an armchair walk, distance will be no problem,
1978: Berlin Views (2nd series)
to  the Belvedere Castle in Charlottenburg Palace Gardens, originally used as a summer house/tea-house and observation tower. Today it houses the world's largest collection of porcelain. On to the medieval, much altered, village church at Lichtenrade right next to Berlin's largest village pond.

The 10 Kilometre Landwehr Canal which "cuts through the heart of Berlin like a green ribbon". A popular area to relax. This January it froze over so skating was an added leisure opportunity.
1978: Woodland Flowers
The flowers of Solomon's seal, primrose, hellebore and bugle to be seen in the western part of Berlin in the Grunewald Forest. A big green space (3000 hectares) where it is easy to forget you are in a metropolis of millions.

Sunday Stamps A-Z here for B for Berlin, Belvedere and bugle - See It On A Postcard
